LOS ANGELES, CA - If you're still late in finding out about Houston's most talented new artist, consider this article to be your insight into the best creativity you've seen in a minute from the Capitol of the South. Jax Yohana, is a Houston resident but is originally from the west coast (Bay Area and Los Angeles). Not only is he a rapper and singer, but also a talented multi-instrumentalist producer. His repertoire of skills are enabling him to carve his own path in the industry. If you've ever heard people say "this guy is next!" but they're only saying that because they think their friend's "fire mixtape" (that's not mixed and mastered) sounds great, then just know that Jax is the first person you'll ever hear someone say "he's next" as you watch it become reality. With big plans ahead in Los Angeles, Jax Yohana is sure to be a nationwide (and worldwide) household name in no time. When he starts taking over your favorite playlist in the next year, just remember "we told you so!".

The production duo of Kay (of The Foundation) and King Mason - better known as "The King & I", were the masterminds behind the music on this project. Crafting a beautiful blend of original bass lines and other live instrumentation, "TGDY" steps into a different realm for Yohana. The music insights some true introspection through his wordplay. The best representation of this is from the single, "Deeper Than Rap". Yohana speaks on the hardships of family life (and life in general), using these elements to show the listener that his fire inside for making art is rooted in something real and goes far beyond a desire to "be a famous rapper".

The King & I is a new record label hailing out of Houston, TX. and Jax's new record is their first release. You can check out all things "The King & I" here.

HOUSTON, TX - Jax Yohana's newest single "Dubai" is hot off the press and showcases his versatility with this club banger. Definitely a "turn-up record", the song's intro leaves you hanging for a bit wondering how the beat will drop and when it does, it instantly let's you know what kind of party it is. Yet another nod to this up and coming artists expansive repertoire of sound.

Upcoming releases for Jax will take you on a journey of sound. With each project comes a new theme and different approach. It's important to be versatile these days. Versatility is something that's hard to fake and comes out naturally. When you're influenced by a wide array of music yourself, your own original music pours out of you in many different ways. Yohana's music is a strict testament to this. Stay tuned for more impressive artistry from this soon to be star.

AUSTIN, TX - Eimaral Sol, is back with her new wavey, vibed-out single "Time Travel", featuring Houston's own TAME (The Aspiring Me). This time around Eimaral and producer Guess have taken the listener deeper into the realm of a tripped out sound. "Time Travel" (recorded at the legendary Sugarhill Recording Studios) envelops a good amount of vamped-out, intermingled, and somewhat muffled background vocals and main vocals mixed together in a beautiful way that leads your ears in multiple directions at once.

If one were to try their best at categorizing or slapping a genre on this track, there would have to be a nod to psychedelia thrown in there somewhere. Being the big supporters of psychedelic art and culture that we are here at Urban Circus, this song fits perfectly into the mix of things that we love. It's always encouraging to see Texas-based artists continue our culture of tripped-out/psychedelic music that began back in the 60's with such Texas luminaries at The 13th Floor Elevators and the Moving Sidewalks, then resurfaced in the 90's with the psychedelic sounds of the King of Psychedelic Rap, DJ Screw.

Eimaral Sol's music is catchy, soulful, and is carving out it's own mutligenre/genreless lane with its unique sound. We're excited to see what she releases for years to come.

HOUSTON, TX. - The biggest undeniable fact about Texas, is that our state is a Music-Mecca. Sure you have the obvious east and west coasts that are known for their large respective scenes, but neither coast has birthed as original a sound as Texas in the last 15 years. This is proven by the fact that the Texas sound has undoubtedly influenced both the LA and NYC sounds as of late. The most obvious staple of this "Texas Sound" would be none other that the slowed-down "screwed & chopped" sound of the late, DJ Screw. His influence, while heaviest here in the Lone Star State, has permeated not only the sound of national acts, but international music as well. This is evident anytime you hear the classic pitched-down syrupy-slow vocals dragging across a beat and the occasional "chops" (repetitions that sound like record-skips) within a song. This slowed-down style that DJ Screw originated became known simply as "screw" or "screwed & chopped".

Enter Principe Q, a well-versed Texas-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ who has invented a new sub-genre of music he has coined "Screwmbia" (screwed & chopped-cumbia). As the son of famed cumbia music legend, AB Quintanilla, from the Kumbia Kings, and the nephew of the late international latin-music superstar Selena (RIP), he has every ounce of vetting needed to blaze a new trail with his potent blend of cumbia and screw. From much time spent here in Houston (including living here for a recent stint before relocating back to his hometown of Corpus Christi), Q has been heavily influenced by DJ Screw and the Houston-sound growing up as a Native Texan. This influence helped him craft his unique new genre-blending style. Here at the Urban Circus headquarters his latest EP Screwmbia Vol.2 released today on Bombon Music, has been the only sound emanating from our speakers since getting to preview the album a few days prior to it's release. Chances are it will be on a constant rotation around here for months to come.

Below is the truly groundbreaking work Screwmbia Vol.2 by Principe Q, who will be a massive force in Texas music and beyond for decades to come. If you want to do this EP the ultimate justice, hop in your whip, drop your windows, crank your system up, and cruise slow through your city's streets. If you're in the H, then you awwwready know what-it-do! If you're elsewhere we promise following the instructions above will make you feel like you're right here in the city with us.

AUSTIN, TX. - Texas-based singer-songwriter Eimaral Sol's new single "Y" is about self-love and discovering more about who we are as individuals. "Y" fuses elements of soul and jazz tinged with some trap-style drums. The song begins with a commanding drumbeat and then drifts off into a soulful, melodic, smooth vibe as her voice floats perfectly on top of this Guess production. Recorded at Houston's legendary Sugarhill Recording Studios, this song is quality through and through from the recording, to the production, to the mixing and mastering, but most importantly from Eimaral's seasoned vocal delivery and lyricism.

The acceptance others and oneself happens when you listen to your inner voice. Love and acceptance are the underlying themes in Sol's music. Her art exists to create a space for her listeners to be free of judgement and social constraints. These days authentic artists stand out amongst the crowd and that is precisely what this young soulful songstress has molded herself to be. Authentic. Modern. Soul.

HOUSTON, TX - Multi-instrumentalist producer 8MOS (better known as "8 Months") debuts his first single ever titled "Catch Plays" (feat. Jax Yohana & Mark Drew), part of an ongoing series called "The Infinity Series". After producing for artists of different genres for many years, he realized he wanted to release his own body of work as a producer. With a hoard of music stockpiled from years of creating personal work, he has enough music to release from "now until infinity" as he says. Consequently 8MOS logo features the "8" turned sideways representing the sign for infinity.

Besides producing music, 8MOS is also a performer and has played in bands in years past, most notably with Neon Collars - an eclectic rock project with Houston-based luminary guitarist, Denis Cisneros. His diverse background in music paired with his multi-instrumental talent, a high level of production knowledge, and quality engineering makes 8MOS among Houston's most talented producers. Basing his operations out of the famous Sugarhill Recording Studios, he's positioned to crank out hits for years to come.

Urban Circus has had the pleasure of sitting down and hearing some of the music he has slated for future release and we can tell ya'll that you're in for a multi-genre treat that retains quality and eclectic vibes at every turn.

HOUSTON, TX. - Jax Yohana's debut on the scene has seen him drop five singles in ten weeks. The body of work loosely titled "Jax Season" shows his versatility through each single. This man's work ethic is unparalleled for Houston, and proves he can keep up with any coast when it comes to pumping out work. His latest offering "Bae" (prod. by 8mos) features Lyle Harrison and was filmed on location in Houston by San Antonio-based filmmaker @AzrielTV .

The sound that Jax and 8mos have produced within these five singles is a breath of fresh air to the Houston scene and beyond. With a versatility that is able to pump out club hits, chill laid-back vibes, and even intellectual, lyrical hiphop, Jax is proving here's here to stay. His ability to deliver this wide range of styles yet do it all with his own unique swag, is quickly setting his artistry apart from the rest. If the above picture isn't indicative of where Jax is headed, keep your eyes peeled because this is just the beginning.

HOUSTON, TX. - Urban Circus artist DASHR has been exhibiting his lyrical and vocal abilities this past year with a handful of remixes. His most recent effort sees him reworking HVOB's track "Azrael" which he renamed "Indigo" for the final version. His remixes most often showcase reworked lyrics sang by DASHR himself with new keyboard parts and re-arrangements of verses and choruses within the song sometimes stripping the original vocals off of the tracks. "Indigo" is another musical work showing the upward spiral of DASHR's increasing abilities as a producer and performer.

Look out for the beginning of DASHR's 2018 as he has some great originals and collaborations on the way. We will be sure to keep you updated with every move this young talent is making as his career continues to blossom. Urban Circus is dedicated to cultivating talent and curating culture in our home bases of Houston, NYC, Portland, and beyond. Thank ya'll for riding with us thus far as we build this creative movement. This is only the beginning!

HOUSTON, TX. - "On the left side of the map, (Wes, Wes, Wes...)" sounds clear as day as this chorus rises up with the song and blends perfectly with this monstrous production via 8MOS. "Wes3x" as he is calling it, is the new single from Jax Yohana, which pays homage to his California upbringing. This duo comes with it every time they drop and have a long future of producing records together ahead of them. I think it's fair to say this duo is creating a unique, polished, professional sound that is unlike anything you've heard out of Houston.

Unrelenting creative energy that never sleeps is undeniable. Few can keep up with the pace at the top, but for those that do, the reward is great. Jax has worked hard on crafting the pace at which he creates. The different avenues and approaches he takes have allowed him to move throughout creating different sounds. He has several things in-store before the end of the year including a new music video, and the 5th song in his 5-part work (which is loosely referred to as Jax Season). You can catch Jax Yohana live at the 3rd Annual freshDark Feston December 9th.

HOUSTON, TX. - Jax Yohana keeps the fire coming with his most memorable release yet "Squad". The catchy musicality is orchestrated by none other than producer @j8mos. "Squad" is a guaranteed etch into your memory with its unmistakeable melody and dynamics, topped off by Jax's catchy swagged-out flow that is becoming a potent trademark of his style. These two have found something special as their connection in the studio grows stronger week after week. This is truly a sound like no other coming from the H.

As we have said before, not only is Jax's music sure to turn heads, but its catchy delivery and unparalleled production will have you keeping his music on repeat. Soon-to-be Houston anthems are sure to come from this hot new artist. "Squad" is the third single in this series of five singles being released. He has been releasing a new single every two weeks and the quality is continually is trending upward. Impeccable delivery of his flow, musical orchestration, and content marketing paired with great music always yields fantastic results. We can't wait to see what he has up for us two Fridays from now!

Oh and one last thing... CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WORLD CHAMPION HOUSTON ASTROS! Ya'll all be safe this weekend as you celebrate their historic win. One love!

HOUSTON, TX. - Multi-instrumentalist producer 8MOS (aka 8 Months) is set to drop his first single "Catch Plays" on Friday, November 10th. "Catch Plays" is the first single in a long series 8MOS is coining the Infinity Series. A snippet of the track can be heard in the background of the promo video above (filmed/edited by Urban Circus' own @the_eternal_artist). 8MOS is a producer of the highest caliber who is well-versed in everything from rock, psychedelic, and soul to hip-hop and r&b. He has played in bands, produced for a wide range of artists in different genres, and is now stepping out to release is his own music. The first EP within his Infinity Series will be named Infinite: Existence and is sure to leave an impression on your taste in music.

Considering the combination of his production and musical skills, 8MOS deserves to be put in the category of Top 3 Houston Producers. He is one-half of the production duo Analogue Escape (based out of the historic Sugarhill Recording Studios) who pride themselves in analog production and dynamic musical arrangements. Besides his Infinity Series project's debut, he has more music set to release this year and next via artists such as Jax Yohana, Erva Carter, and Jay Maze. If you're just catching wind of this true talent in the game, know that you will hear his name more often due to his relentless work ethic and more than likely will catch yourself bobbing your head to his sound whether you know its him or not.

HOUSTON, TX - These days it is rare to find artists who merge philosophy, social awareness, and positive vibes all combined with top notch music production and a sound that makes you want to dance. DASHR's new single "Obsidian" tells the story of a human who is contemplating the past, present, and future simultaneously while realizing their place in it all and their own ability to affect change within the system and their natural surroundings. The "message in a bottle" that has "washed up on the shore" is no mistake when it comes to the album art for this record as those exact words are found in the song. This young talent keeps the fire coming as his true skills in instrumentation, production, and vocal arrangement are revealed more with each release.

His production abilities in blending the textures within his music are extraordinary. At only 22 years young, DASHR has proved his abilities are far beyond his age.

HOUSTON, TX - Jax Yohana is back with "RARI", the new single that takes you one more step down the path of this new artist's rise in the game. "RARI" could be best described as his "swag track" in this string of releases from the Bay Area native. Every track has a radically different concept and will show you by the end of this run of five releases (dropping a new single every 2 weeks) what vibes this newcomer has in-store for his fans. His art direction and production (@j8mos) shows a maturity far beyond that of someone who has been rapping for less than a year. A background in production and piano has emboldened his musical prowess as he steps up into the role of "artist" instead of being behind the scenes.

The underlying theme in Jax's music is to take life in to the fullest and have the widest range of experiences possible. This will be seen over time as he continues to drop gems for your ears. If for some reason you don't vibe entirely with a song, just wait for his next one because he is sure to grab your attention somewhere along the way with his deep lyrical abilities, diverse subject matter, concepts, and bangin' production. We look forward to checking out more from this new talent as he solidifies his place in the music industry.

HOUSTON, TX. - Welling up from the underground of the H is yet another artist that is sure to turn heads in the coming years, making a name for himself across the industry. From his clothing, to his music, to his flow, his style is unmistakable. Jax isn't just an emcee, but also a talented producer and self-taught pianist.

His newest offering "Long Live Jax" is produced by 8mos at the historic Sugarhill Recording Studios. Yohana takes the listener on a journey into the immortal, larger-than-life persona that every rapper dreams of achieving. The musicality and dynamics of this track stand out amongst the watered-down formulas of today's music. Jax and 8mos are a potent force when they combind their talents and it shows in the sound they cook up in the studio.

There is much more to come from this duo as they have a plethora of singles dropping before the end of the year. When talented like-minds come together, magic is created. Stay on the lookout for their new singles and Jax's live performances by following him on Instagram.

HOUSTON, TX. - This Thursday, September 21st Houston will be blessed with the sounds of internationally famous afro-beat kings, Antibalas. Their name in Spanish means "bulletproof" or "anti-bullets". Longtime friend of Urban Circus and founder of Antibalas, Martín Perna, said the other night in an interview on Houston's 90.1 KPFT that, "Our music is a workout for us and our fans alike. We write long compositions much like a piece of jazz music so many of our compositions are ten to twenty minutes long and keep you dancing." This meticulous approach to crafting their sound has earned Antibalas wide critical acclaim and solidified them as musicians who's skills are in the upper echelon in the music industry.

Martín answered a few questions from us to give ya'll better insight into all that is, Antibalas. Here's what he had to say...

UC: What was the main inspiration for the formation of Antibalas?

MP: I wanted to put together a bunch of musicians that was a much a cooperative community as a band, making heavy dance music with a positive, constructive, informed and critical social message.

UC: For people who haven't experienced ya'll live, can you shed some light on the format of your live show?

MP: It is a mob of musicians onstage--twelve to be exact: a dynamic lead singer who also plays vibraphone, three percussionists, a four piece horn section, guitars, keys, and lots of bass. When you come to the show, you are expected to be not only a spectator but a participant. The more energy we get from the crowd, the more we are able to build that energy in the intensity of the show.

UC: To this date, which countries has Antibalas played in?

MP: We started playing our first shows in 1998. Our first overseas trip was to the the UK in 1999. We since played multiple times across Canada, Germany, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Ecuador, Brazil, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Iceland, Norway, Italy and a bunch other countries. I added it up once and it came to 36! We have been invited a few times to Nigeria but there have always been some last minute bumps in the road for us, but that would be an amazing pilgrimage back to the source of a lot of our music.

UC: Outside of touring, how often do the members collaborate on other projects or fraternize?

MP: We make a ton of music together outside Antibalas, both out of financial necessity and because we like each other as musicians and people. Everyone in the band has one, if not two other projects going at any given time and you can generally find clusters of Antibalas members participating. Former members and current members also moonlight sometimes with much larger mainstream acts like Arcade Fire, The Roots, the Arks, TV on the Radio, Mark Ronson, Angelique Kidjo, and even Lady Antebellum. A lot of well-known bands dig what we do as a band and the musicianship of our players.

UC: What do ya'll enjoy the most about Texas crowds?

MP: The heat! We play tropical music and in Texas we get to serve it at the proper temperature and people respond accordingly. We have a lot of friends and family here and the shows are especially deep and intimate.

Many members of the group are highly respected for their work within the band and outside of it as well. Antibalas and its members have been a part of everything from the Tony-Award Winning Broadway musical FELA! to performing on the both the ABC and NBC Late Night shows with the Jimmys, as well as collaborating with the likes of The Roots, My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, Santogold, Medeski Martin & Wood, Mark Ronson, Alabama Shakes and even Public Enemy. These gentlemen are top-notch performers who are sure to bring it when they descend on Rockefeller's tomorrow night accompanied by longtime Houston music guru, DJ Sun.

Below is Antibalas' newest single "Gold Rush" off of their brand new album Where The Gods Are In Peace. This is a rare night of music you won't want to miss filled with international sounds and plenty of dancing to be had. Follow this link for tickets and be sure to bring along any friends who love live music, because it doesn't get more lively than this!

HOUSTON, TX - Urban Circus artist DASHR encompasses a very astral approach to his sound as a producer and singer-songwriter. It's only fitting that today he premieres a new song titled "Duality" for the Total Solar Eclipse. The song speaks of polarity and changes within ourselves as well as the world around us. Couldn't ask for a more on-point song at this time, not only for what is happening with the physical astral bodies in the universe, but our current socio-political climate as well.

If you are in the mood for some astral energy in your life tonight with the eclipse, you can catch DASHR as he provides sound-healing along with yoga and meditation from Rajesh Shekhar and readings from Earthney Healing at the Solar Eclipse Healing Circle and Sound Bath tonight from 6-10pm. You can keep up with all things DASHR right here on Urban Circus, or on his SoundCloud or Instagram.

We sat down with Doeman recently to discuss his music, lifestyle and creative approach. Here at Urban Circus we always ride for emcees who fuse lyrics rooted in higher-minded mentalities mixed with grit from growing up in the hood. It’s always important to identify with people in your hood through lyrics they can relate to, but equally show and teach awareness of self and environment through artistic expression. These are both things the young 23-year old emcee does quite well. Don't let his age fool you though because his lyrics pack a punch that keeps up with the best of them.

Just for our readers, here's an exclusive premiere of "Gemini", a freestyle-track Doeman says is the perfect sound to tide fans over until his new album is done being mastered. Bump this while you peep the interview below.

UC: Your “O.B.E.” project was our favorite release of yours so far. It bridges the gap perfectly between identifying with growing up in the hood, but also pushing enlightenment of mind. body, spirit. Can you tell us a little bit about where your mind was at when you released “O.B.E.”?

Doeman: It came from a little bit of a lower, darker place. Sometimes everything you think is one way is really something different. At that time I had several homies die and other ones fall off. I kinda got lost in my own mind for a minute. Started self-reflecting and focusing on myself and my own mind for a minute instead of on rap. I had to find a way to get out of the dark place I was in. It was a good thing to let that all out, it was what I was really going through at that moment and what I really felt. That’s why I named it “Outer Body Experience”. It’s been my favorite project I’ve released so far. I was just exploring my mind and it came out dope.

photo: @the_eternal_artist

UC: As visual creators here at UC, we like the visuals you’ve been putting out with your music lately. It shows how you identify with your latin roots but still keep it fresh. The “Barrio God Vol.1” project certainly nailed this perfectly. What was the difference in the approach between “Barrio God” and “O.B.E.”?

Doeman: That was more like a mixtape. We were fuckin’ with our homies in San Antonio, getting fucked up in the hood out there and making a lot of music. That project helped to hone that “Barrio God” image. It was a different persona from Doeman like, “this is like a different dude rapping’”. It was some hard, real gritty shit, not as artistic. I was rapping’ my ass off. It was really just a mixtape. I want my people and everyone that listens to me to have elevated thinking. You gotta let people know everything you’ve been through is similar to their own experience.

photo: @the_eternal_artist

UC: Let’s talk about the track “American Me”. Most new artists these days are standing on stages in front of millions and have no real message at a time when society could use artists speaking out about social problems. Where were you coming from with this track and what’s the message you wanted to convey?

Doeman: I remember writing that hook on the way to SXSW a year before I recorded the song. The imagery was all the homies picking me up, riding out, mixed with visualizing all my homies who’ve been killed. What were their last thoughts before they got killed? It was like “this is why, this is the shit that we come from, it’s kill or be killed”. “American Me” was on an acceptance of self. Not just being accepted in the hood, but the evolution of being a Hispanic. It was helping kids feel like, “I’m the shit being Hispanic”. It’s all around the world like that. Like in Mexico they don’t like Mexican Americans or accept us, like how Africans don’t like African Americans. It’s like we’re a different species. We didn’t cross the border, we been here. Kinda puttin’ the flag down for us.

photo: @the_eternal_artist

UC: Giving a voice to not just Mexican kids but even more in a specific sense to Mexican-American kids who grew up here in America and what that was like.

Doeman: Yeah man, definitely.

UC: One of your hardest hitting tracks to date is “No Limit ’91”. It comes like a kick-to-the-teeth, punch-to-the-face. Wanted to get an idea of your creative process for that song and the production of the track.

Doeman: Fano Bee produced that track. He’s out of Cali and Seattle. No Limit is on some real rapping’ shit. I realized I could do something with the message of it, going from some real dark devilish shit then going into “God’s Son since birth, Devil wanna fuck me I’ll put him in a hearse, that’s work, what’s worse?” its like 2 different sides. Like two different people talking to each other. I was showing mo’fuckas they ain’t fuckin’ with me when it comes to bar-for-bar. That was one of my favorite records I’ve ever recorded.

photo: @the_eternal_artist

UC: We felt like you really came correct on that record for sure. There’s certain artists in the game that you can tell aren’t ever going to stop making art and we can tell you’re one of those artists.

Doeman: ‘Preciate that fam.

UC: Your new record you just dropped with Kirko Bangz called “Way Up” is on a very different vibe from most of your music. Tell us how that project came together.

Doeman: I had that song already made and was going to feature a certain artist on it, but he was taking too long. By that point I ran into Kirko at the Space City Liftoff show and we’ve been wanting to do something together for a minute. I saw him back stage and he was like, “Man, I fuck with ya’lls movement and shit. Send me something”. I was like, “Man I don’t even know what to send this man…” cause he usually does shit for the ladies. My boy Sal, was like, “Man, send him that ‘Way Up’ record”. I sent it to him and he sent it back the next day. Kirko got on that record and spoke some real shit. He talked about him having to lose a lot of things just to come up, some real veteran shit. Losing a lot of what you thought would always be there. You tell big dreams to small-minded people and they get intimidated or scared. A lot of homies from the hood get intimidated because they think it’s not possible. People who have a bigger vision and have already done it know its very possible.

photo: @the_eternal_artist

UC: We know exactly where you’re coming from. Here at Urban Circus we’ve been visionaries, artists and creatives for a minute now. It’s weird when people get scared or intimidated because you have a big vision. Why should that intimidate? If anything it should inspire and be applauded and people should want to fuck with you because of that.

Doeman: Yeah man, never a bad thing to be inspired.

UC: Wanted to wrap-up by asking about your new project thats coming out. Do you have a name for it? What can your fans expect?

Doeman: The title of the new project is called “From My Soul To Yours”. It’s already finished, I just need to get the mastering done for it. It’s going to be a full-length LP and is my best work to date. I only have a few features on it… Kirko, my boy Bamsworth, and Bee Honey. I don’t have an exact date for it yet, but its dropping here in 2017.

HOUSTON, TX- Coming fresh off of releasing his album "Nightwave" producer/artist DASHR drops his own vocal remix of Matroda & Dustycloud's "Come Back". After doing several remixes of Bonobo and James Blake tracks in the past year, DASHR continues to further his ability to fuse his vocal stylings with other producer's music to create incredible reworks. This new remix proves that his writing and dynamic vocal stylings enhance songs far beyond their original compositions.

Keep your ears peeled for remixes and original singles to be released in the coming months! More visual treatments are in the works from "Nightwave" as well as some production collaborations with several hiphop acts. DASHR continues to prove that he is far from a one-dimensional artist. Live shows have seen new listeners turned into instant fans as he becomes a growing force in the Texas music scene and beyond.

Be sure to catch him in a city near you soon. If you are outside of Texas, we'll be seeing you nationwide in 2018! Below are the tentative Nightwave Tour dates (stay tuned for the finalized venues).

HOUSTON, TX. - Mother Nature, is one of those groups that upon discovery you think to yourself, "Where have they been all my life!?". This all-female hiphop group comes at you with their potent MVMNT via Champaign/Chicago, Illinois and has wasted no time making their presence known around the country. Their sound envelops hard-knocking bass driven beats laced with conscious lyrics which deal with self-reflection, higher consciousness, and positivity all beautifully mixed with stories of dealing with rough environments.

Since the Urban Circus fam first connected with The Gr8thinkaz a few years ago, it has been a pleasure seeing these brilliant women continually cook-up incredible content. They always bring a fresh perspective and equally impressive music with each release they drop. Be on the lookout for future tour dates and their upcoming record release. You can also stream "MVMNT" via their soundcloud page below.

HOUSTON, TX. - DASHR premiere's his new single & video "Nightwave", the title track to his upcoming project. Seeing hard work come to fruition is always rewarding for the young artist/producer. Our collective has grown very close in the past year as our work has improved immensely and our creative processes have matured. This effort from DASHR is a big part of this collective unity and has shown us all what is possible when great creatives come together.

Could not be more proud of where this young man has come and where he is headed. This record is a true sign of his growing maturity as an artist and songwriter. DASHR's album release show is May 25th at Walter's Downtown and is also the Urban Circus 5th Anniversary Show. The Nightwave album was mixed by Andy DeAngelo and mastered by Chris Longwood (George Clinton/Tim McGraw/etc.) of the historic Sugarhill Studios.
